How to create a Roster in Loaded

You need Time permission to view and edit the roster and Payroll permission to be able to view payrates. If you don't have access to this module, ask someone with Managers permission to update your user permissions.

You need to setup your staff roles and staff before you are able to roster in Loaded.

You can't start a shift in a roster before your daily cut off time which can be updated in your account settings. IE If your daily cut off time is 7am you won't be able to have someone starting a 6am shift for that day, you will to change your cut off time to 6am.

To access, go to Time, Roster, then Edit Roster

Editing your first Roster:

When you complete your first roster the roster editor page will bring up a blank template for the current week.

You can use the Day & Week buttons to change the view and the Select toggles to move backward or forward by day or week.

The Filter Roles button allows you to only view staff members assigned to certain roles within the venue ie. Kitchen Staff VS. Front of House staff

Adding a shift:

To start building your roster you can add shifts in week view by clicking on the day next to the staff members name and selecting their role and entering their start & finish time and any job details in the boxes. Then click on the blue Save button.
